FSX booting issue

[jaje]

Hi Peter

 

Just updated to FSUIPC 4.946, and have sent in purchase order - still waiting for registration code, but that's not the issue.

 

After installing, and booting FSX, I get an error message:

 

"Error loading GPS_Engine. The flight plan will not be used." Click OK and the same message reapppears. Click OK again and the flight loads with no problems. Any ideas what might cause this?

 

Regards

The current version is 4.947c. Where did you get 4.946?

No, sorry. It's nothing at all to do with FSUIPC though unless you have some other add-on trying to use FSUIPC at that time. An unregistered FSUIPC does nothing except act as an interface for other programs.

Sorry Pete - must be old age - version is 4.947c. Anyway, have no idea what is causing the error message, but I can live with a couple of clicks on the OK button

John,

 

 Ran into this the other day. Start FS & do the clicking OK to get into the sim. Load a flight plan then save the flight with default flight being checked. That should take care of it the next time FS is started.

What I believe happens  is that the waypoint counts do not match in the .flt file in the [ATC_Aircraft.0] , [ATC_ActiveFlightPlan.0] & [GPS_Engine] or the path to the to the .pln file is no longer valid within the [GPS_Engine] section.

That did the trick - thank you very much for the suggestion
